So i was out on the Neshannock today and i was nymphing. threw a cast upstream and thought i had a snag. could not get it loose so i walked up to where my line was and slowlystarted to pull it up. to my suprise there was a fish on the line!!! it didnt even budge as i tried to yank the line loose. it then just gradually swam downstream and hid under a big boulder where i could not pull it out. i tried to pull as hard as i could until i finally popped the hook out. what kind of fish was this??? didnt get a good enough look at it when i pulled it up. Catfish possibly? i was using a small black stone fly

I hooked a muskrat once , had him right under the chin , he climbed the far bank and started up the hill into the thick rose bushes , so i put some side pressure on him and he turned , he then grabbed the line inhis front paws and bit the leader off.

It's a large whatchamacallit? They give a hell of a fight and you never get them to shore or in your net.

haha im pretty sure i saw a fish but it is possible it could have been a snapper. i have seen quite a few suckers and carp on the river. just thought i would share the story. one of the weirdest things that has happened to me
